BTW Did I tell you that my sister and I adopted John and BjoTrimble's beautiful black cat a few days ago? They couldn't keep her, couldn't find a no-kill shelter that could take her in, and I couldn't bear the thought of them having to take her to a city shelter because I knew what was most likely to happen...

So...my 14-year-old Pumpkin has his little pink nose out of joint, and we are slowly, slowly trying to get the two cats to at least accept each other. So far it's not working; I've never seen Pumpkin hair-up at another cat before.

At least now I have a "Halloween set" of cats..one black and one orange, and a living Trek fandom "souvenir."

(And if nobody in here knows who the Trimbles are, they are NOT Trek enough!)
